  1. Orginally not from New York, I have been in search of a good colorist for a long time and was suprised to find one on the Upper East Side.

  3. walked out 45 minutes later, with beautiful highlights and a long full hair.
  4. Totally average salon, long waits, bait-and-switch pricing and a bad attitude.
  5. was afraid (for a long time) to use any stylist other than Vicki but I tried Carolyn and then the other girls and it's phenomenal: EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE STAFF IS AMAZING!
  6. besides the fact that i waited a 40 mins after my scheduled time but she was the worst hair stylist i've ever come incounter with.

The Most Welcoming Hair Salon In the City!

by Lauren Abrami at Citysearch

I just found Alice Hair about 7 months ago and it is by far the best hair salon I have ever been to. The moment you walk in, it feels like you are in a different world, with a positive, warm energy that is unlike any salon I have ever been to in NYC. When you walk in, you are warmly welcomed by Juan at the front desk who is so incredibly friendly and gets you anything you need and it just gets better from there! What makes the shop so wonderful are the stylists they have working there. They are down to earth, friendly, talented and really listen to the needs of their clients.

Alice styles my hair and there is definitely a reason why she is the shop owner. She has an amazing energy and spirit every time I sit in her chair and is incredibly skilled at what she does. Its the first time I've ever been able to sit in a hair dresser's chair and say, "cut it however you want" and she knows how to give me a look that fits my personality. The first time after I got my hair cut, I went directly to a family reunion and everyone told me my hair was nicer than it had ever looked. Thank you Alice for giving me a beautiful hair cut and the confidence to own it. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an amazing salon experience!

No No No

by nypsurgeon at Citysearch

You come in for an appointment and these stylists keep you waiting as if you are a random walk in they are generously fitting in at the last minute. And they overcharge for a basic guy's haircut. There are just too many other options out there to waste your time and money here. They have an air of entitlement that is really absurd, especially for a service the city is literally overflowing with in a less than stellar economy.

stop nickel and diming us... charging for toner!

by kjs2002 at Citysearch

275 and up for highlights...ok, they do a good job. 60 if you want to leave the salon with dry hair...fine. tacking on an additional 40 for toner that THEY SAY is REQUIRED for highlights to look good...not cool. The actual toner is a cheap product ( around 7 dollars at beauty supply stores) and the application process is no more complicated than putting on conditioner. They are taking advantage and trying to squeeze $$$ out of each service wherever they can; which is a shame because they do good work. It's low rent and sleazy.

Wouldn't go anywhere else but Alice Hair Care!

by FiFiFla at Citysearch

I love Alice Hair Care. I have been going there for 6+ years now and I always leave with a smile on my face & great looking hair! All of the stylists are extremely talented & professional. I usually get highlights, cut & blow-dry with Collette every 6 - 8 weeks and its something I really look forward to. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Collette knows exactly what she's doing and is great with giving little tips & recommendations on taking care of my hair.

I am so glad I found this salon. I have recommended it to many friends and they are all satisfied customers of Alice Hair Care too!
